The Collection

Books by Elodie Ashwood

Steamy contemporary romance with protective heroes, fierce heroines, and guaranteed happy endings. Two interconnected series plus standalone novellas — each book is a complete love story. Read in any order, or follow the series for the full experience.

📖

Reading order tip: Both series are interconnected standalones. Every book has its own couple and its own happily-ever-after. You can start anywhere — but reading in order gives you the most Easter eggs and character crossovers.
